GQ keeps stalling - problem fixed

Post by hottiemonster »

ok tried cleaning the jets, made a bang, then put the leads back onto the right plug and seems fine. i dropped the udle revs to 1000rpm and it also seems fine. i will wait a little and see how it runs and then i might lower some more.

thanks bazzle, frank and everyone

happy to see that i am learning new things :D

no damage will be done to the engine if only done for a short period..

No way do i wish to incur the wrath of your Dad? :cry:

But if you post on here and ask questions and people give answers its up to you how you use the information wether he thinks its ok or not..

BTW Ive doubt it will break anything. Seen it done countless times.
Many an engine runs with misfire between leads etc, esp Nissans with their rotor button setup. Never heard of one getting any damage from that.
I did state Airflow meters can be damaged by backfire which is why LPG conversions normally have a backfire sleeve on the intake.

Good luck at home.. ;)

Do you mind elaborating on that, Bazzle? Do you mean that an engine will normally misfire sometimes? Between leads, what does that mean? What is a rotor button setup? Is that describing the dizzy internals?

I'm certainly learning some things here.

Shorting out between leads, it can happen, and used to happen heaps on older cars... Water and poor leads, or plug caps can cause spark out from the plug cap, to short out.
